Dolphins C Mike Pouncey could miss entire preseason

I could see this being our starting lineup at some point this season....

LT Tunsil
LG Asiata
C Larsen
RG Bushrod
RT James

You are very low on asaita huh? I think he's a lock to start. Can't believe he fell to the 5th

There's definite concerns about scheme fit. Neither him nor Lawson have the athleticism to make a consistent impact in second level blocking which is a requirement of guard and center play in a ZBS. Almost every NFL team uses ZBS to an extent and that's why Asiata fell so far.

I agree with that assessment. Although I think he's still an upgrade over what we saw from Bushrod on the right side last year. The Dolphins decided to pass on the top 4 OGs in the draft so it is what it is. I feel that Forrest Lamp was a much more complete player than either Harris or McMillan right now but they clearly didn't feel the same. Their board was stacked differently.
